Answer
Most airlines cover the cost of initial training for newly hired cabin crew. This training is typically conducted in-house and includes safety procedures, emergency drills, service protocols, and regulatory requirements.
While the training itself is free, some airlines may not pay a salary during this period. Others offer a reduced training allowance or provide accommodation and meals instead of wages.
You may also be required to sign a training bond, which obligates you to stay with the airline for a set time. If you leave early, you could be asked to repay part of the training costs.
Low-cost carriers and charter airlines may handle training differently than major full-service airlines.
